Our Take

Steeltown, the second album by Scottish rockers Big Country, is like a fine single malt whisky - bold, rich, and guaranteed to leave you with a warm glow. Released in 1984, this album is a prime example of 80s anthemic rock at its best.

From the moment the opening track "Flame of the West" kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. Stuart Adamson's distinctive vocals soar over the driving guitars and thunderous drums, creating a sound that is both anthemic and introspective.

Tracks like "East of Eden" and "Where the Rose Is Sown" showcase Big Country's knack for crafting epic, uplifting melodies that stick in your head long after the album has finished. And let's not forget the infectious energy of "Just a Shadow" - a song that practically begs to be cranked up to maximum volume.

But Steeltown isn't all about big, bombastic anthems. The band shows their softer side on tracks like "The Sailor" and "Restless Natives," where Adamson's lyrics paint vivid portraits of working-class life in Scotland.

Overall, Steeltown is a triumph of 80s rock - a masterclass in songwriting, musicianship, and sheer attitude. Big Country may not always get the recognition they deserve, but albums like this prove that they are true powerhouse of British music. So grab a dram, crank up the volume, and prepare to be blown away by Steeltown. Cheers!
